Correlation and Causation

Sometimes while talking with creationists I feel like I have said this multiple times but it doesn't seem they notice. Anyway enjoy today's SMBC.

I am the Spirit of Science

So after the last post I figured I would post something more comical, yesterday's SMBC comic!

History Lesson!

This was far to good not to share, especially with my views on what the History Channel has become. Oh, and one more thing if you are on YouTube go subscribe to the maker of the video CGPGrey he makes very funny and informative stuff!



H/T Know Your Meme

Evolution and Thanksgiving

SMBC is at it again this time combining evolution with thanksgiving also dinosaurs because who doesn't love dinosaurs. Yes I know this was posted on their site almost a week ago but I have been busy.

Colbert on Global Warming

Stephen Colbert does it again not only does he not believe in climate change but he no longer believes in warming! This is why I watch the Colbert Report every night.

New Twist on a Famous Image

Although it isn't exactly accurate SMBC has a new take on the famous progress of evolution. Make sure you click on it to appreciate the image fully.

Cell Phones

I have discussed a few times in the past the cell phones cause cancer idea, including a small rant in this post, but I think xkcd has it right in their comic from yesterday.

Right Under You

Another great comic by xkcd. Make sure you visit the comic itself and check out the scroll over.

My Childhood Meets the Modern World

Oh xkcd you must live in my mind

David Mitchell deals with Climate Change

This was pretty funny! I wish he was wrong but David Mitchell brings up good points, I love to drive etc but unfortunately he is right.

We Are All Just Mules

Another good evolution/genetics themed comic from SMBC, from yesterday.

The Future According to the Internet

The Internet is funny, thank you xkcd for putting it all together.

Evolution Joke (Not Family Friendly)

Oh SMBC how you always give me a chuckle especially when you do science based humor.

Sad But True

I wish this xkcd comic wasn't so accurate

Beauty Around Us!

So where do scientists see beauty? According to xkcd it is in everything around us. This is true!

Textbook Stickers

If Creationist get their "warning" stickers on textbooks soon everyone will be demanding them as SMBC points out below.

Herpetology is Paraphyletic

Another great comic by xkcd this time explaining how the study of Reptiles and Amphibians in one group, known as Herpetology, is in fact an unnatural grouping and so it is paraphyletic. Make sure you visit their site itself so you can see the comment when you mouse over the comic, lets just say that there is a problem that Aves is a Class while Dinosauria is a Superorder (ironically this is something I covered in the labs I taught this week).

The anti-anti-Vaccinationist

*pause for dramatic effect*

Oh SMBC how you always give me a chuckle.




But yeah I wouldn't actually wish any harm come to an anti-vaccinationist I just wish they would listen to the evidence :'-( (yes that just happened).

Garfield and Dinosaurs

So the comic doesn't want me to embed it and I assume they wouldn't want me to upload it for copyright reasons so go here to enjoy.

Yay dinosaur references!!!

But it's cold!!!

I return to Lubbock from Pittsburgh and the low the next morning was in the single digits with a negative wind chill, that means that global warming is false right? Well I have stressed this point enough that most of my readers should know that obviously that is not true. Anyway here is a more humorous video explaining the difference than the last time I used this title.
